Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster Draw Tough Playoff Matchup
7 years agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receivers Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster draw an extremely daunting Divisional Round matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday. Jacksonville's secondary, led by star cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye, finished the season ranked first overall in pass defense DVOA, according to Football Outsiders. The tough matchup downgrades the outlook for all of the Pittsburgh receivers. Brown did fare well in these two teams previous meeting this season, back in Week 5, catching 10 passes for 157 yards. He remains a solid fantasy option for this weekend, although it would be wise to temper expectations slightly, as Brown will be returning from a multi-week calf injury. Smith-Schuster sets up as nothing more than a dart-throw option in DFS tournaments on Sunday.
